 	As you may have noticed, at least the feature request did 
make it to the list. (It turns out I *was* subscribed, and set to 
nomail; what made me doubt it was an oddly worded auto-ack from 
another subscriber.)

 	You mean, for instance, when I go to add the new local 
ISP one of these days (or if I were to add Adelphia back now), I 
would change the path in the entry for my main INBOX temporarily 
to that for the new one, add other folders to the collection for 
it, and then change the INBOX back to Lserv?
